Pizzas places vs. Burgers joints

 

Pizza

There’s a saying: “Oh, how I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height. My soul can reach when feeling out of sight.”

Well, I can proudly say that this quote is my exact sentiment on pizza. I have crazed thee ever since I tasted it as a child. Sorry, chocolate kisses, ice cream sundaes, pasta and hamburger helper. Pizza, and by proxy pizza joints, are the greatest brainchild to ever grace the face of this earth.

Pizza, in general, is just the better choice. Period. The proof is in the pudding every time you bite down into the cheesy goodness of the flatbread. There is no denying the fact that the amalgamation of tomato and cheese together in the dough is a masterpiece in itself and so much better than killing a cow and sticking it in a bun.

Eau Claire seems to have the same sentiment as I do because I see way more pizza places than I do burger joints. Eau Claire has Geno’s Pizza, Toppers, Mancino’s Pizza and Grinder, Papa Murphy’s, The Plus, Domino’s, Pizza Hut and Sammy’s Pizza, just to name a few.

Don’t get me wrong, I love burgers, but the only popular burger joint I know of in Eau Claire is Milwaukee Burger, and that should tell you something.

Hopefully you can agree with me that nine times out of 10 pizza places would win your choice next to a burger joint. And all your major food groups are covered in one pizza: dairy, meat, vegetables, fruit and grains.

With pizza not only is there more selections, but there is also the benefit of it being a lot cheaper than burger joints.

What a deal, right? The quality and quantity go hand in hand in this case, and that is all the more reason why you should choose a pizza place as your go-to source of food.

Burger

When I am selecting where to go out to eat, I like to pick somewhere that is going to give me the most bang for my buck, a large selection and leave me feeling satisfied at the end of my meal.

What type of place can give me all of that you ask? Why, only a burger joint of course.

Burgers are a staple on most restaurants’ menus. But to get the wholesome and quality meal you deserve out of a burger, the best place to go is one that specializes in them.

My favorite burger joint in Eau Claire has got to be Milwaukee Burger. Not only is the meat juicy and cooked to perfection, but the options on what to add to your greasy patty are endless. With a large variety of flavors and possibilities for your burger, you have the choice to create the burger that is right for you.

Some say that you can get the same satisfaction from a pizza instead. Yes, pizza is cheaper at some places but is that really a good thing?

Pizza places offer you sub-par slices at a reduced price because they are hoping that with such a low price you won’t be able to complain about the quality of your food. If I wanted a pizza, I would make one at home and not waste my money on going to a pizza place.

Burger joints are more practical and they bring in more customers because they serve unique and delicious meals that you can’t get anywhere else. I like that I can go to a burger restaurant and the burgers I order have their own twist.

All you get at a pizza place is the same boring ingredients thrown onto poorly tossed dough, baked for a couple minutes and slapped on a plate.
